The Two Shards

Lucy is one of the royal twins, separated at birth for their own protection. The kingdom was unable to decide who should inherit the throne. The first-born or the male child? Rioting insured when the palace announces their choice and the kingdom was on the brink of outright civil war. In truth, it would have happened no matter the choice. The twins’ parents, the King and Queen of the kingdom tried to quell the bloodlust through public appearances, but lost their lives in the process. Through their involuntary sacrifice, they reduce the struggles to a mere tension, with both sides agreeing to raise a great barrier straight through the royal city and the entire kingdom. The Western Shard belongs to the young twin King, and the Eastern Shard to the young twin Queen.
